Chapter 21: The first step into the insect star
After Lin Xiao instructed the workers to dig enough clay, he ordered most of the soldiers to stay by the spatial rift, and entered the insect star with two sword and shield soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As soon as he came here, he felt a sense of strangeness, his God's perspective was infinitely reduced, and his sense of Xiaozhou was also looming.
But if you don't feel the will of the insect star, maybe the will of this planet is still the same as yourself, and you don't control the entire planet, or you are not here.
Even if it was a guess, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk to attract the hatred of the ant monster, when he heard the sound of rustling in the grass not far away.
Then, an ant-monster emerged from the grass, and it had already spotted Lin Xiao.
One ant monster was not enough to make Lin Xiao worried, but soon a large number of ant monsters appeared, and he was a little helpless, he was targeted before he had taken a few steps.
Without the time to enjoy the scenery of the insect star, he turned around and retreated towards the spatial crack with the sword and shield soldiers, and returned to Xiaozhou in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, ant monsters rushed through the spatial cracks one after another, and their number was not large, and they were easily killed by the soldiers guarding the side.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao remembered that the monster farming points of the online game were almost exactly the same except that the corpse would not be refreshed.
If you make this a monster farming point, you will have a fixed amount of energy point income every day, and you will be very excited to think about it.
Unfortunately, this phenomenon did not last long, and after paying the price of more than 300 ant-monsters, the ant-monsters stopped sending them to their deaths.
It seems that these ant monsters are not stupid, which makes Lin Xiao very disappointed.
However, there were still a small number of ant monsters that were sent over, and after Lin Xiao deliberately let go of a few, the number of ant monsters that came through was a lot more, but it was still pitiful compared to the first time.
It's better than nothing, you don't have to pay any price, you can have a good harvest, and he is still very happy to send troops to guard here in turn to clean up these ant monsters.
After Lin Xiao stabilized the matter of the ant monster, he focused on the construction, and now he needs to make decisions in all aspects of the town.
Fortunately, the workers under their hands are very peaceful, and their food, clothing, and housing are temporarily solved, and they will not cause any trouble.
In ancient times, this kind of person was the best people under the emperor, and in modern times, he was also the best employee in the hands of the boss.
Lin Xiao is not so frustrated, and from time to time he rewards some of the most hard-working workers, which can still improve their enthusiasm for work.
Workers are happy to work, but if there is a reward, it is not better, and no one minds that they are rewarded for their hard work.
However, the problem also arises, the workers are indeed very enthusiastic and efficient, especially in the construction of the city walls.
With 300 workers working industriously, a wall 6 meters high and 2 meters wide can be built 50 meters in a day.
This rate continued, and the northern wall could be built in 20 days, but the red brick and cement could not keep up.
Cement, in particular, requires limestone and slag left over from ironmaking.
Limestone is not in short supply, but slag is not readily available, producing only a small amount of money per day.
After all, there is not much iron ore at present, and it has to be mined at the beginning, and the deeper it goes, the more difficult it is to mine, and the current small iron mine is somewhat insufficient.
There is a large iron mine 1 km to the east, which was dangerous with ant monsters at the beginning, but Lin Xiao did not mine it, and now it can be used.
Mining is also a problem, as the mine is 50 meters above the ground, and with the help of the picks in the hands of the workers, it takes a lot of effort to dig it.
Having seen modern advanced mining technology, mining with manpower is still inefficient for Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao doesn't have the ability to change it at the moment, this large iron mine must be dug, but he plans to find a vein, preferably the kind of open-pit one.
As the will of the planet, he still has an advantage in finding ore veins, and since there is no nearby, it is not bad to look at it from a distance.
With this purpose in mind, Lin Xiao searched and looked in all four directions.
He soon got the result that mineral resources in the other three directions were very scarce except for the east.
To the east, he found two small open-pit iron mines a few kilometres away, as well as several other types of veins, but they were buried too deep and in rocky formations to give up.
These two veins have just solved the urgent need, not only cement, but also steel production has increased a lot.
But at present, steel is far from enough, and the current weapons and equipment, and even daily tools, need steel, which is still not enough if it is not multiplied hundreds of times.
In addition to this, Lin Xiao has now suspended the manufacture of canned food, this thing also needs a lot of iron, and even if it can be recycled, it still consumes too much.
Leaving the necessary cans to store, he put the antliqu carcass in the freezer, but there was still a lot left.
He didn't convert them into power points, these antliqu carcasses could be cut into pieces and dried for storage.
Even if it is jerky, it is still very popular among clones, and Lin Xiao usually sends it down as a reward.
This has also created a phenomenon in which those who do not get jerky are directly exchanged for several times the amount of dried red fruits.
"Is this the bartering social model?"
Lin Xiao did not ignore this after discovering this, there will be more and more people under him, and he can't rely on him alone to manage it in the future, so tired will be exhausted to death.
His town will eventually form a system, and someone needs to manage it for him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he gathered all the workers and soldiers.
First of all, the soldiers, whose command ability is average, are better than being able to decide to follow their own orders and follow the army structure given in the manual.
10 people for a squad, 30 for a squadron, 100 for a brigade, 300 for a battalion, 1000 for a regiment.
Lin Xiao used this establishment before, and it was definitely good, but the captains at that time were all temporarily appointed.
At that time, he was just pleasing to the eye, and the soldiers below would definitely be dissatisfied, although he didn't say it, but Lin Xiao still saw some of it through the rest of the past few days.
He was so immersed in gaining a huge amount of power points that he forgot to deal with it, and happened to deal with it with the workers.
Each soldier begins to be appointed according to military merit, and it is no wonder that the previously appointed soldier is not high enough for military merit.
He also wants to give chocolate a compilation, and he doesn't care about it at all, plus she is lazy every day, even if she gives it, she probably won't do anything.
Simply appointed as her own chief of guard, which is not too low, with her military merits and strength, at least she is also a captain.
Even if Chocolate's position is not high, no soldier dares to underestimate her.
After the appointment, basically all the soldiers were very satisfied, and the officers who were squeezed out did not complain in the slightest.
After the soldiers are appointed, then the workers, and their appointment criteria are according to the degree of diligence, after all, every worker is of similar ability, and with this appointment, the other workers will not complain.
In this way, it is much more convenient to give orders in the future, and it is also convenient to manage.
The last item is the shop, and from a modern point of view, it is true that workers and soldiers do not need wages, but from an ancient point of view, their wages are the daily need for food.
The food that is distributed every day is fixed, there are always people who can't finish it, and store a part, and the store is a place for them to trade.
Lin Xiao has no way to open a shop, these workers are a little bad, they don't know anything about business, and business is also very important, so he can only do it himself.
